EPDM rubber remains one of the most widely used elastomers in the industrial market—and for good reason. Known for its durability, weather resistance, and insulating properties, EPDM rubber products are an essential material choice for manufacturers seeking reliability across a wide range of applications.
Qualiform specializes in producing high-performance EPDM rubber parts using both standard and proprietary fiber-reinforced formulations. Each component is molded with precision, designed for function, and built to last—whether the requirement is environmental resistance, thermal stability, or flexibility under pressure.
What Is EPDM Rubber?
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a high-density synthetic rubber designed to perform in extreme conditions. As a non-polar elastomer, it is resistant to moisture, steam, sunlight, ozone, and oxidation—making it a preferred option for outdoor use, electrical insulation, and vibration isolation.

Advantages of EPDM Rubber Parts
- Superior Weather Resistance: EPDM exhibits outstanding resilience against UV exposure, ozone, and oxidation, ensuring longevity in outdoor applications.
- Thermal Stability: Maintains flexibility and integrity across a broad temperature range, from -60ºF to +300ºF.
- Electrical Insulation: Offers excellent insulating properties, making it suitable for electrical applications.
- Chemical Resistance: Demonstrates resistance to water, steam, and various chemicals, enhancing its versatility.

- Injection Molding: Suitable for complex shapes and high-volume production.
- Transfer Molding: Best for parts requiring precise dimensions and insert molding.
Proprietary EPDM Blend
To enhance performance, Qualiform offers a proprietary EPDM blend incorporating reinforcing fibers. This formulation improves wear resistance, abrasion resistance, and overall toughness, extending the lifespan of the products.
Precision Meets Performance in EPDM Rubber Parts
Engineered to perform under pressure, EPDM rubber continues to be one of the most relied-upon materials for sealing, insulation, and long-term durability. When molded with precision and backed by material expertise, its advantages are fully realized across industries ranging from automotive and HVAC to electrical and water systems.
Whether the priority is resisting weather, maintaining flexibility at low temperatures, or providing reliable insulation, the value of properly manufactured EPDM rubber parts is clear. With a firm understanding of EPDM material properties and process capabilities, manufacturers can align performance requirements with long-term reliability.
